We (Team Granular) assure you even better results with the future Granular releases. Anyway, look out for the next Granular release coming at the end of this week. :) Justin,

Since this was an old system, enabling the beryl/compiz effects in other linux distros resulted in a really painfully slow desktop experience. But when I tried out my hands at Granular, I was really wonder struck.The speed and ease of use of just amazing and not to mention all the eye candy stuff(Super karmba, kbfx, beryl-manager) Inspired by the power of Granular to run even on modest systems with such high quality visual effects, I made a site just for that and to show the world that even modest configuration coupled with linux could produce some amazing visual treat. Man, this is one awesome distribution with some really cool apps and packages. All the best for you and for your team Hi Anurag,

You may experience a bit slow speed in KDE, but Xfce & E17 (Enlightenment) may eventually work for you. Check here for instructions to switch between KDE, Xfce, E17: http://www.granularlinux.com/uniquefeatures.php#switch-session I wish you good luck! :) Gramps,

I'm as new to linux as a person can get. I couldn't find the minimal requirements to run Granular i.e. processor, RAM, etc. I'm going to try and install it on my old Gateway P3 - 1 Ghz with 256 MB RAM. It had Windows ME which is nothing but problems. Unfortunately I can't afford one of the fancy new systems, so I'm going to try and resusitate this one by using linux. They say you can't teach an old dog new tricks. Well, I'm going to give it a try! I'm a 57 year old Missouri Ozark hills man who's going to take his first shot at linux. Gramps Hi!

The selling point for me was enlightenment, since it wouldn't compile on Ubuntu and I didn't want to waste my life trying to make it work. Is it E17? Also, what languages are included?
